The Land of Oz has some treasures for you in Microgaming and Triple Edge Studio’s Book of Oz Lock ‘n Spin Slot Game. The glowing green pillars of the Emerald Palace are the backdrop for gold and purple reels where mysterious potions and a dashing Wizard of Oz show up as symbols. A unique twist on the Hyperspins mechanic makes this game as enjoyable as Fortress Charge, and the $125k top prize from a single spin means just one bet could have a fairytale ending.

A little difference goes a long way, and you will see that when you launch this game and see for yourself how much impact the ability to lock a few reels can make. Like the original, this game has some great graphics and animations, and the gameplay experience is even more exciting. If you want more jackpot-packed tales from the land of Oz, play White Rabbit Megaways and Sisters of Oz WowPot today.
At 96.35%, the RTP is slightly above the industry average, and the high volatility means you can expect bigger wins but less often.
Spin the reels, autoplay, change your bet or open the paytable with the controls below the reels.
A unique menu lets you choose how often the game will give you helpful hints and tips.
This is where things get interesting. While the original Book of Oz allowed you to re-spin individual reels for a price in the base game, Book of Oz Lock 'N Spin lets you lock up to 4 full reels to complete winning combinations or trigger the bonus. Remember that the more potential a reel has to deliver you a big win, the more it will cost to lock.
When you land 3, 4 or 5 book symbols anywhere on the reels, you will get 10, 12, or 25 spins, respectively.
Before the round starts, a random special expanding symbol will be chosen that will expand to cover the reels it lands on until the feature ends. The unique Second Chance feature lets you reshuffle the special symbol if you think you deserve a better one.
The advanced Hyperspins feature in this game can mean you are placing bets many times higher than your original wager. You could make costly mistakes if you don’t play the free demos first. You can practice your reel-locking skills with free credits while keeping your casino balance safe.
I started by setting the bet amount to 10 credits, I did this intentionally knowing that in a lock and spin slot, things can quickly get expensive. In the start, I rolled a few reels taking my time to choose which reels I'd like to lock. As you lock reals the price increases on the probability of the amount you could win. As reels were locked the cost per spin quickly got to 283 credits per spins. I locked into wild symbols and chased the blue elixir for a 5 x combination paying out 2000 credits, Which I hit! On top of that, I hit 10 free spins eventually paying out 2340 credits.
Results:I think a key takeaway for this one is choosing your bet size correctly if you want to make a substantial profit. Focus on the Wizard of Oz symbol and lock those in because they will pay the most.
